Maintenance

When you are finished treating seed, disconnect the discharge

tubing from the elbow fitting and place it into your original

chemical container. Turn your pump ON and empty the 5-gallon

premix tank.

After the premix tank is empty, place the end of the discharge

tubing in an empty container (example: a 5-gallon bucket). Add a

small amount of clean water to the empty premix tank. Open the

pump all the way and empty the premix tank. Repeat procedure

until tank and pump are clean. Save the rinse water to use in the

preparation of your next slurry batch.

If the applicator is going to be stored in subfreezing tempera-

tures, flush with alcohol or antifreeze to prevent freezing which

will cause pump damage. As an additional safeguard, disassemble

and clean the entire pump assembly, making sure all parts are dry

before you assemble and store for the next season’s use.

Note: Failure to clean your treater properly or failure to

completely drain all liquid from the pump and lines after use may

damage the equipment and will void any warranties expressed or

implied.

Check the gear reducer monthly for adequate oil level by

removing the oil level indicator plug on the side of the reducer.

If oil does not run out, fill until it does. Use 60W oil or

equivalent.

Clean the coating chamber(s) at the end of each treating period.

Failure to do so will cause chemical buildup.
